Classification:

example - T1_R_B_S_O
read as: Tier 1, relax, bushido, style, original
T# - your current tier

~preferable grab on opener~
R - relax
C - contract
E - extend
H - hold

~preferable play-style~
A - aggressive (kicks, knees, etc)
D - defensive (counters, suplexes, etc)
B - bushido (full throws, developing new bushido techniques)

~preferable movement style~
E - effective (solely focused on winning)
S - style (focused on giving a beautiful replay without caring for the win)
Q - combined (focused on winning with style)

~preferable dojo type~
B - big dojo (for those abd fans)
O - classic aikido.tbm dojo (regular square dojo)
G - greykido (rounded or square dojo)
S - for the spiritwrestling fans (round dojo)

Any other ideas or improvements to this? ^

1st, no yellow color, and all letters should be different

still don't like it for some reason, it's more of player's preferences other than a style description.

i will come to think about this again at some point, but i'm strongly against this type of desc as it is now.

there are in fact differences in execution by different people, but i can't nail it as precisely as it is for wushu (wushu is really easy in this sense), while in aikido you can see the difference by joints utilized

RAFS etc make sense for wushu as there are multiple engagements and people infact play different, while aikido is mostly about getting one or another move done correctly.

style / effectivity is also a bit off, as you always try to execute technique you chosen with maximum effectivity. there is no time or space for decoration elements like backflips or spins
